Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi is relishing the opportunity to showcase his world-class Muay Thai artistry on ONE Championship's global stage when he takes on fellow Thai slugger Nakrob Fairtex this Friday, June 6. Their flyweight Muay Thai showdown, serving as the headline attraction of ONE Fight Night 32, takes place inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Sor Dechapan man, who vows to entertain the masses with some "cool Muay Thai moves" on fight night, expressed genuine appreciation for his chance to debut on American primetime.
Jaosuayai told Nick Atkin when asked if he expected to need more victories before earning a spot on the main roster:

"I would say during that fight I had a little bit of expectations, not too much, because I feel that just continuing to fight at ONE Lumpinee (ONE Friday Fights), there's nothing bad about it."
He continued:
"I can just keep fighting there. But the chance has come, and this has been the dream for me and a lot of fighters. So yeah, it's great to be here."
The 23-year-old seeks to make it five victories in a row when he returns against No.5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob. In his last outing, he knocked out Denis Puric to bag a six-figure contract to join the main roster.
Jaosuayai's promotional record currently stands at 7-2. Meanwhile, he owns an impressive overall slate of 59-22.
Will career win number 60 arrive for the Thai striking dynamite on his American primetime debut, or could Nakrob continue his rise up the stacked flyweight Muay Thai division?

Jaosuayai gives his full scouting report on Nakrob
Jaosuayai isn't taking anything lightly as he looks to kick off his main roster debut in style.
Besides working tirelessly to make sure his craft is at its ferocious best, the young striker representing Sor Dechapan has taken extensive notes on what his Fairtex Training Center opponent brings to the table.
"Nakrob’s most dangerous quality, in my opinion, is he comes forward with a game plan to pressure his opponents. He trades shots, he walks through everything, and he’s really durable. I think that’s pretty much his greatest strength, and it’s the scariest thing about him."
